Check your 'writable' folder usually My Documents you will see a backup of your levels there



MAX creates a backup on every update

Hello,
is it possible to choose the location of the "writable" folder ( assuming it is this the GameGuruApps folder in my documents). As it is a onedrive folder, it takes ages to synchronize ( 3 days straight, not event completed )
If so , how to do that ? Thanks !

Can I ask about an update to this question?
IE I want to update MAX. Should be straightforward- it's called the tiny installer.....
but it warns me that if I don't have the asset libraries ticked, they will be REMOVED!
*** ( I think this should be left up to the user as a Windows task......... ) ***

If I keep them ticked, will they remain untouched so I can move along? Or even when ticked will
they be re-downloaded and replaced from scratch again?
6 - 7 hours or 30 minutes.... Please- can I just get the latest MAX applications without huge downloads?
Thanks for any info.

If everything remains ticked, then the updater will check to see if any of them need to be updated. If not, then nothing gets downloaded. Only what needs to be updated gets downloaded, not everything. For example, I keep everything ticked and my update takes only a few minutes and it's all done.
